A message from the
General Manager

Hello and welcome to Merrill Gardens at Ballard! I am a Seattle native and have been part of the Merrill Gardens family since 2009. After a wonderful experience helping my grandmother find a new home at Merrill Gardens, it is an honor to serve this wonderful community of residents and work with a fantastic team.

Outside of Merrill Gardens I love spending time traveling, connecting with close friends, and enjoying the Pacific Northwest playground with my husband and two kids. I look forward to meeting you!
